Purchased For My Lifestyle 12 System
(5 out of 5) by John on Dec 18, 2007 (Monroe Towsnhip, NJ USA)I recently moved to a new house, and didn't want to drill holes in the walls or floor to get the wires to the back of the room. I was somewhat skeptical about this product and concerned with sound quality. However, I'm happy to say there is absolutely no difference between using the SL2 and hard wiring the rear speakers!
a) The system is made up of two receivers. They are both very small, and are easily concealable.
b) The front receiver plugs into the base module with 2 wires (left & right speaker wires)
c) The rear speakers plug into the rear receiver.
d) Installation complete!
This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to all.

Exactly what the doctor ordered!
(5 out of 5) by J. Williams on Mar 28, 2008 (Utah, USA)After a recent house move I was forced to try and "hide" the surround sound wires for my LifeStyle 35 system rear speakers between the baseboards and carpet. This worked well until my youngest son started crawling and pulled the wires up.
After much searching around I decided that this system would be best and I am not disappointed. For owners of a Bose system, this is a snap to install. It comes complete with connections to your Acoustimass module, and new wires to connect from the remote unit to your speakers. No need to cut or strip wires and even has the right connections for Lifestyle "cube" speakers.
Without doubt, this is a perfect system when used as designed, within a decent-sized room for a home theatre system. My receiving unit is approximately 15 feet from the broadcast unit.

As Good As Advertised
(5 out of 5) by Gee Wally on Jun 28, 2008 (Baltimore, MD)An excellent product, however, I was just a little disappointed that this is really only a partially wireless connection. While the SL2 saves the trouble of running a wire to the back of the room, you must still run wires to the speakers. That said, the connection is beyond easy and the sound quality is impeccable. I highly recommend this product.

Great Sound
(5 out of 5) by Yolanda Valentin on Mar 10, 2007 (Trumbull, CT)I am very pleased with this purchase. I shopped around quite a bit and overall I was most impressed with the Bose quality. For being an over the air signal the product works great!
